One-Dimensional Two-Phase Flow

The first elementary, general text on two-phase flow suitable for graduate students in engineering, this widely used monograph has been newly updated by author Graham B. Wallis. It offers a thorough presentation of the basic techniques for analyzing one-dimensional two-phase flows and shows how they can be applied to a wide variety of practical problems.
Praised by the Journal of Fluid Mechanics for its "most useful compilation of experimental results," the text features much of the author's own work. The first section of the two-part treatment is concerned with analytical techniques, focusing on generality, key concepts, and the development of analytical skill. Part two is organized around particular phase combinations, flow regimes, and practical applications. All of the previously developed techniques are employed in the second part.
For advanced undergraduates and graduate students as well as professional engineers.
